Is this still an issue for you?

Going to that link for me produces data:

In 2001 I believe there were 17 races / qualifying sessions. And there are data only for round number 16...

The original ergast API had limitations on the quali data before 2003 according to their docs:

Oh, indeed, I just checked on Ergast, and they do have gaps in their data, which have propagated here — I apologize for the confusion. Maybe someday it will be possible to fill in the missing data (I believe it's available on the official site: https://www.formula1.com/en/results/2001/races/711/europe/qualifying/0).

regards and thanks for great work :)
